How it shows up
People with this line can submit to rules, standards and a manager's requirements, and in doing so strengthen the shared effort. Their self-discipline lets them build precise, carefully checked results. As a second line, they project an impression of competence that doesn't always match how they feel inside. Others may therefore expect more of them than they are ready to give. When the frame grows too tight, the mind starts fidgeting and the details become exhausting.
At its best
Self-restraint and discipline that help accept an outside influence and make it stronger. The person calmly and precisely carries out detailed work that calls for patience.
The shadow
A mind squeezed into too rigid a frame turns restless and anxious. The person frets over trifles, and detailed work becomes a source of constant tension.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Saturn, and ▼ (detriment) when by Mercury. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
